TL;DR

It is discovered that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the oncogenic driver of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), requires ADAR1 both to maintain latent infection and for lytic reactivation by preventing PKR-mediated ISR activation.

Dengue virus-2 triggers Epstein-Barr virus replication in primary B cells by co-opting the IRE1-XBP1 signaling axis

ABSTRACT The intricate interplay between co-infecting viral pathogens within a host can significantly influence disease outcomes. Dengue virus (DENV), a globally prevalent arbovirus from the Flaviviridae family, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a ubiquitous human herpesvirus, share extensive geographical overlap, yet thei...

Immune Evasion by CMV and BK Virus: Lurking Viruses Waiting for the Right Moment to Deliver a Fatal Blow to Individuals With Compromised Immunity

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) and BK polyomavirus are archetypal latent DNA viruses that establish lifelong persistence and cause severe disease upon reactivation in immunocompromised hosts. Although they differ markedly in virion architecture, genome size, and coding capacity, both viruses converge on a shared biologica...

Immune Evasion by Neurotropic Viruses: Molecular Strategies, Cellular Targets, and Consequences for CNS Infection

This review examines the diverse yet convergent immune evasion strategies employed by major neurotropic RNA and DNA viruses, including herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, cytomegalovirus, rabies virus, rabies virus, flaviviruses, alphaviruses, enteroviruses, and JC virus.

A double-stranded RNA fish reovirus activates cGAS-STING signaling and evades antiviral immunity through autophagy-mediated degradation

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) reoviruses are primarily sensed by the RIG-I-like receptor (RLRs) signaling pathway. However, whether these viruses can also activate the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway, a central DNA-sensing system, remains poorly understood. Grass carp r...

Modulation of DNA Damage by Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV)

Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is an oncogenic gammaherpesvirus present in >95% of the adult population. EBV is responsible for nearly 2% of the global cancer burden and is a contributing factor in the development and progression of both epithelial and lymphoid malignancies. Throughout its lifecycle, EBV manipulates the DNA...
